Arizona Charitable Registration Requirements
Does Arizona require charitable solicitation registration? Arizona repealed its charitable solicitation registration requirement in 2013. What that means for nonprofits fundraising in Arizona, and the professional fundraiser and charitable gaming rules that still apply.
Application process
There is no charitable solicitation registration to file in Arizona. Arizona repealed its charitable solicitation registration requirement in 2013. Nonprofits soliciting in Arizona still need their corporate registration (and a registered agent if formed out of state), and fundraising into other states can trigger those states' registration requirements. Professional fundraisers working Arizona donors should confirm whether separate contractor or solicitor filings apply.
Renewals
With no charitable solicitation registration, there is nothing to renew in Arizona. Keep the organization's corporate annual report and registered agent current, and track registrations in every other state where the nonprofit solicits.
Deceptive solicitation remains enforceable by Arizona Attorney General under consumer protection law even without a registration regime. Charitable gaming (raffles, bingo) is regulated separately in Arizona and usually requires its own license or permit from the state or local jurisdiction.
